Breaking barriers: Ian Roberts Pt.1
About this episode
Ian Roberts was one of the toughest men in the NRL. Behind the footy world’s brutal culture of macho masculinity, Ian was struggling to deal with his sexuality. In 1995, he bravely became the first footy player to come out as gay, breaking down barriers along the way. On this episode, Ian joins Gary Jubelin to reflect on his painful journey, share how he dealt with his family’s reaction and the headlines, and how he learned to embrace his true self.
